Genderqueer is an umbrella term with a similar meaning to non-binary. It can be used to describe any gender identities other than man and woman, thus outside of the gender binary. Genderqueer people are united by their rejection of the notion that there are only two genders.

Some genderqueer people use that as their only description of their gender identity, while others also identify as another gender identity such as androgyne, bigender, etc. Some genderqueer people may wish to transition, either medically or by changing their name and/or pronoun to suit their preferred gender expression. Genderqueer people can have any sexual orientation.

  Androgynous is sometimes also used as a descriptive term for people in this category, but genderqueer is used to indicate that gender norms can be transgressed through a combination of masculinity and feminity, or neither, and because not all genderqueer people identify as androgyne.
